    Barbara that blue journal was Gorgeous! I'm sure the new owner will cherish it.
    You had the right ideal using a hammer,, For the future, you need to get a cheap, hand,, eyelet setter. It's a short, silver, metal stick, that has a "nub" on the end, it splits apart the back of the eyelets.
    Or as some have suggested, you could invest in the big bite. 🤔 after years of the hammer, I went straight to BB. 🤩

    For the eyelet you can get the cropodile big bite for long reach or you can get eyelet settting kits that have a tool that you bang and it makes the edges curl around to secure the inner bit.

    Barbara: although you don’t use blue a lot in your color schemes, it is still the favorite color of most people. This journal is quite nice. The person who will receive it will be overjoyed to get it, especially since it was created by you. I loved the fact you used a stained table cloth. Good going! Carol from California

    Morning Barbara, hope you are well and keeping yourself safe. I am having my first cup of coffee "with" you and enjoying seeing your create another gorgesso cover. I am so sad we won't see the adventure you have with her, she is going to be an awesome chubby baby, she is beautiful, the colouring and the cloth are lovely. Your 2nd little cover is cute too, maybe we will be in on her adventure with you???? Hope so, it will be fun to see how she turns out. You have inspired me to try one, (I have soooooo many bags I keep collecting!!!) as soon as I am finished a Journal for a friend in USA entitled Ode to Africa. ANYHOOOOOOO, my crafty friend, stay well and safe and, as always, Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana

    Oh my goodness, love the blue grungy butterfly cover. I have a pillowcase my Grandma embroidered. I’ve been saving it. Now I know why. It will be a perfect cover. The second one is exquisite. Wouldn’t that make a beautiful journal to give as a wedding gift for their wedding memories? Another great video Thank you Barbara ❤️❤️

    I really love both of these covers and will try this technique. I was wanting to make a summer journal and I think this is the answer. Thank you Barbara for sharing the links to other artists whose instruction you find helpful. I am reluctant to sew paper on my sewing machine, not sure why but the more I watch it being done, the more comfortable I feel. Here I go! 😃

  • @belindaosgood
    @belindaosgood 2 роки тому +1

    I love how both covers turned out. Problem solving on video is stressful, no doubt, but it really helps us think through our own creative problems. It encourages us to just try things. TFS, Barbara.

  • @angelaarnold4255
    @angelaarnold4255 2 роки тому +1

    I love both of your fabric covers. I kept yelling to you to put blue on the butterflies. And you heard me. But I never thought about the stamps from the Field Notes. That was such a cool thing to do!! These two Journals you have are so full of inspiration. I love them both. One thing I did with my ribbon and bead was I used my awl. The tip of the awl was small enough to push the ribbon through. Then I just trimmed up the ends of the ribbon. Can’t wait to watch the Upholstery Journal come together. I love both of your Journals.

    Barbara, this journal cover is pretty awesome!! I love the way you stamped the butterflies and I have that same Tim Holtz stamp set which I haven't even used yet. I have started buying textiles, tablecloths, linens like this in thrift stores and antique stores and have amassed a pretty good collection. Now, I just need to get daring like you have with this project and start putting the linens to good use. Thank you so much for your inspiration. Your work is just brilliant. Blessings to you, Carol Schneider

    The crop-a-dole big bite is what I use … perhaps that’s what she used! I love both of your covers! I also thought about using grommets , they are in so many sizes and a grommet tool is very inexpensive compared to the big bite. They are amazing tools to have! I love mine. 💖

    First I want to say this is beautiful...then a tip for you. When you spread your glue, use an old credit card rather than your brush. It works faster and smooths easier than your brush. Love watching your videos, you have great ideas!

    Barbara… I want to try this so badly because it’s so beautiful and I need a new journal! This is so inspiring. FYI you can avoid the eyelet issue you had with Fiskar Eyelet setting tools. I love them so much better than a crop-o- dile and they are relatively inexpensive. You can set an eyelet anywhere on a page and they cut through fabric, cardboard etc. Great Video!

    Barbara you are a marvel. I love both covers but the blue one is my fav. I’m sorry we aren’t going to see the final outcome. I know the lucky person receiving this journal will be thrilled.
    I also love your processing videos because you show everything. I know I would have 100 more fails than you so it’s great to see someone as artistic and clever as you having fails too. 😻😻 But you always seem to fix the problems and they turn out just beautiful.

      Thanks so much! I guess I just don’t give up until I like the outcome 😊

    Barbara, glad everything worked out in the end, nice to show your struggles. I love the blue and the paint/ink splashes, looks arty. I have made my current journal using a large padded envelope covered in vintage looking patchwork fabric, wraparound also. I'm really happy with it. You've inspired me.

    I love the blue one especially I like butterflies and blue. It’s very beautiful and thanks for all the hints for making the closure so you had a struggle through that but we appreciate how you still made it through and made it beautiful!! ❤
